The use of sliding windows to seal balconies has become obsolete, and it is now popular to use broken bridge aluminum casement windows to seal windows. I didn't understand why more and more people disliked sliding windows, but after moving in for a year, I found out that the 4 shortcomings of sliding windows, the more you use them, the worse they are, no wonder so many people don't use sliding windows to seal their balconies.
Next, I will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of sliding windows to seal balconies, and you can refer to them when you seal windows.
Advantages of sliding windows
First, the ventilation effect is good
The ventilation effect of the sliding window is indeed much better than that of the broken bridge aluminum casement window, and the living room is not so stuffy in summer.
Second, the price is cheap
Sliding windows do not need to be hoisted, the installation is simple, and the materials are cheap, so the price is not expensive.
Disadvantages of sliding windows
First, the sound insulation effect is poor
The poor sound insulation is what I am most dissatisfied with! There is a road across the balcony from my house, and every rush hour, all kinds of noise will come into the house, and it is useless to close the windows. There is also the fact that sliding windows are easy to leak, and it seems that someone is blowing the whistle when the wind blows. Seriously, people who need good sound insulation should never install sliding windows, because the airtightness of sliding windows is not good, and they are not soundproof at all.
Even if the sliding window is 10,000 yuan a square, there is no 500 yuan a square broken bridge aluminum casement window has good sealing, and the sliding window can not solve this drawback at all, as long as there are pulleys, there are gaps, and the sound insulation effect will never be as good as the casement window.
Second, it is not beautiful
The sliding window has a lot of frames, plus I kept the original guardrails and added protective nets, so it looks ugly. Every time a friend comes to my house, they say that my balcony is like a cage, and it also affects the view. I think the sliding window sealing window is too low-grade, or the high-end atmosphere of the large glass sealing window is high-end.
Third, it is not easy to clean up
Dust is easy to accumulate on the track of the sliding window, and every time it is cleaned, it is only a few days after another layer of dust. Because there is a guardrail in the way, it is not easy to wipe the glass every time, and it is not easy to clean and clean.
Fourth, it is not safe
If your home is on a high floor, I still don't recommend using sliding windows to seal the balcony. The wind pressure on the high floors is relatively large, and the structure of the sliding window is not as stable as the broken bridge aluminum casement window, which is fixed by the occlusion between the track and the pulley, and if it encounters a typhoon, then there is a risk of falling.
epilogue
I don't recommend everyone to use sliding windows to seal the balcony, mainly because the four shortcomings I mentioned above are unbearable. If you don't have high requirements for sound insulation and insulation, and your ventilation needs are the highest priority, you can use sliding windows.
